💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Respect yourself enough to avoid toxic friendships
With the rude and ignorant who shamefully gossip,
Who post status updates that are passive-aggressive,
And whose comments imply they're insecure or jealous.
~•~
You know they're not true friends if they aren't supportive,
If you gratefully express joy they become quiet,
If they laugh at you, and your invites are rejected.
Let go of them. Their negative vibes are not needed.
~•~
It feels free to disconnect from those hateful critics
Who don't add value to our lives so they're plain useless.
Their presence brings discomfort, their speech lacks benefit,
And dialogues with them are boring, lacking merit.
~•~
Stay away from them if these awful traits are spotted:
Tendency to lie, to spreading rumors addicted,
Confirming envy when they got you disrespected,
And taking advantage so the care is one-sided.
~•~
As we rise to Jannah and by Allah we're guided,
Vanishing of wrong kind of friends should be expected.
With Allah's Will someday they can be substituted
By like-minded souls who truly deserve our friendship.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Do you know who is the bankrupt?” They said, “The one without money or goods is the bankrupt.” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, the bankrupt of my nation are those who come on the Day of Resurrection with prayers, fasting, and charity, but also with insults, slander, consuming wealth, shedding blood, and beating others. The oppressed will each be given from his good deeds. If his good deeds run out before justice is fulfilled, then their sins will be cast upon him and he will be thrown into the Hellfire."

📖 Anas ibn Malik RadhiAllahu anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Envy consumes good deeds just as fire destroys wood. Charity removes sinful deeds just as water extinguishes fire. Prayer is the light of the believer and fasting is his shield from the Hellfire."
